Dimitri20
Hello, When running php5.6 WebP is supported and functioning correctly. When 'upgrading' to php7.2 WebP is no longer available. Could you please provide a fix to this issue? regards Dimitri

    Hello, My assumption is that there is a PHP extension which is present in PHP 5.6 but not on PHP 7.2 what is the error you're receiving?

    Hello, Excuses for the delay. I do not get an error as such. I am using en extension for WebP. Before the switch both server and browser support was ok. And everything worked fine. After the switch to 7.2 the extension shows that the server doesn't support WebP. I noticed that WebP support wasn't enabled in the GD (via phpinfo) so I contacted my provider asking them to enable WebP support in the GD. They told me that the Operating system does not provide webp support for php 7.X. Which I find quite strange.... Thanks, Dimitri

    Hello Lauren, Thanks. I understand that the LibGD needs to be updated.... is that right? This is currently installed
    GD Version bundled (2.1.0 compatible)
    FreeType Support enabled
    FreeType Linkage with freetype
    FreeType Version 2.3.11
    Thanks Dimitri
